O tempo lá fora (a nuvem, o nevoeiro)

The Sky Above

O céu is the sky, and what fills it decides your day: a nuvem (cloud) and, on the coast in the morning, o nevoeiro (fog) — a fixture of Portuguese Atlantic weather that burns off by lunch.

There are many clouds in the sky.
Há muitas nuvens no céu.

Saying How It Feels

Weather adjectives ride on estar:

húmidohumid, damp
frescocool, fresh

O calor is the heat itself — Está calor! is how you complain about it, with no article, and ter calor is how YOU feel it. O ar is the air (ao ar livre comes later; for now, o ar do mar é fresco).

The air at the beach is cool.
O ar da praia é fresco.

The View

A paisagem is the landscape — what you photograph from the train window.
